Houses

Smiles persist throughout the day when I find flecks of glitter on my clothes and if I am lucky on my face. How can you not be happy? I have been working on several Christmas crafts. Mixing vintage Christmas trims and images with new scrapbook paper is always a bit of a challenge for me. One that I look forward to.

Houses for Miss Cindy's Ornament swap. I cut out the house template from the back of an old broken picture frame. My images are scans from vintage Christmas package tags.

Every house has a door and mine is no different. Perfectly appointed with a house sign and the year.

Packaging counts and they are bundled just so.

Holly leaves tied up with a bow. I couldn't help but add some of the vintage seals newly found at an estate sale. Glitter must have a magical quality that just makes people. These have been magical to make.

Renee,I am so amazed at your creativity! I am suppose to be in Elizabeth's last swap and I haven't even started......I just do not have the imagination like some of you do! I hope soemthing comes to me soon!!!!!! These are cute from the very top to the the packaging!!!!!!

Renee, Thank you so much for posting your "house tags". I am participating in the house swap too and have been struggling with what to do. I have been feeling the pressure to come up with something really terrific. All the participants are soooo creative, and I'm such a newbie! I have made two different models of houses and now feel a lot more comfortable!! Can't wait to get mine in the mail!!

I know the feeling I was ready to go meet my client today to present a couple offers and while brushing my hair and brushing my teeth a quick look in the mirror and there it is GLITTER! You are so right it can always bring a smile to my face. Renee your tags are really cute right up my alley.Hugs, Diane
